Nov. 4th, 2004 11:39 amThere was going to be an angry religious post here, but I thought better of alienating the majority of people on my friends list. I'll get you all to hate me some other time.
Instead, it is time to turn back to the reason we're all here: the shiny. I've been reading a lot of X-Men fanfic recently, mostly movie-based. And there I was, reading and enjoying, but also kind of puzzled by that enjoyment. I mean, I managed to ignore all this stuff after X2 came out... what was different about the stuff I was reading now? Then I realized--do I have a pairing kink which is left unsatisfied by movieverse Xavier/Magneto? Indeed, I do not. That relationship has everything I want, right there. (There are other things I like about this fandom, but that's a big one.)
There's only one down-side to this: it's getting more and more difficult to walk past the comic book store on the way to the supermarket. I know that getting into the comics side of things will only lead to madness... but it gets more and more tempting, every day.
